Healthcare is a good/service. As such, it costs money. There is no
entitlement to goods or services. Rights speak to behaviours, not to
free goods. So, yes, if you happen to have planned things poorly enough
that you show up on the hospital's doorstep with no insurance, no money,
and no charity lined up, think of it as evolution in action.

And the coffin won't be free either.

Speaking as someone who has had to chip in and help with funeral
expenses for someone who was too irresponsible to take care of them
for himself while alive, I can attest to that.
